Sharp
fades.
Hot steel.

Sixty-four years on Larchmere. Six chairs, one standard: you leave looking like the best version of the guy who walked in. Straight-razor shaves, skin fades, beard sculpting — no app-store gimmicks, just barbers who've done it ten thousand times.

What we do

The work

Every service starts the same way: we ask what you want, then we tell you the truth about whether it'll suit you. Then we cut.

Cut 01

Skin fade

Zero to blended, taper or drop, razored edge-up. The cut most of Larchmere walks in for.

45 min · $38
Cut 02

Classic scissor cut

Shears only. Ivy league, side part, textured crop — anything that needs weight left in it.

40 min · $34
Shave 03

Hot-towel straight shave

Two hot towels, pre-shave oil, badger brush lather, cut-throat razor, cold finish. Thirty minutes of nobody bothering you.

30 min · $42
Beard 04

Beard sculpt & line-up

Shape, taper down the neck, razor-crisp cheek line, beard oil worked through.

25 min · $26
Combo 05

The Full Fadehouse

Fade, beard sculpt, hot towel, straight-razor neck finish. Book it before a wedding, not after.

75 min · $68
Kids 06

First chair (under 12)

Booster board, cartoon on the mirror TV, lollipop that outlives the haircut.

The board

Same board.
Same prices.
No upsell.

The board's been repainted four times since Gus Marchetti hung it in 1974 — the layout has never changed. What's on it is what you pay. We don't sell you a "system," we don't ask about your "hair goals," and we've never once suggested a scalp treatment.

Who's cutting

Book the shop and you'll get whoever's free. Book a name and you'll wait — most of them are worth it.

Regulars talk

★★★★★

I've been sitting in Ray's chair since 2011. Moved to Columbus, still drive up every six weeks. That should tell you everything.

★★★★★

Brought my son in for his first haircut terrified he'd melt down. Dez had him laughing in ninety seconds and the fade was better than mine.

The hot-towel shave is the only thirty minutes a month nobody can reach me. I've started booking it whether I need it or not.
